OK, that makes sense. But how is it different, or better than what I'm 
doing now? On the surface, it appears that my current method may break 
in PHP 5. I'm currently using different versions of PHP 4.2+, but want 
to code it so that I won't have too much to change whenever I bump up to 5.

FYI, $conn is a call to my database connection.

And, just so I make sure I understand, each of my individual methods 
within client, which need to access class_display and class_validator, 
would need to include...

$this->display =& new Display
$this->validator =& new Validator

...right?
